  • While Tombstone has a few historical exaggerations, its treatment of Doc Holliday’s death aligns with Costamos’ firm devotion to accuracy. Val Kilmer utters the same words as his real-life counterpart as he dies. As he looks at his bare feet, he utters, “This is funny.” These three words were also overheard in 1887 and overheard by Holliday’s attending nurse.

    True to life, Holliday was a quick-witted talker until the end. Even so, his final words left some fans puzzled. While some contend that Doc’s last statement was about his nurse’s refusal to give him some parting (from the mortal realm) booze, his words were actually about his bare feet.











  • It may technically be legal to ask about postsecondary graduation, but asking for a high school graduation year is generally considered illegal, since that’ll pretty much get you within a few years of the applicant’s age. (I’m honestly unsure whether that’s relevant though, since the first comment said “degree,” which isn’t what we call a high school diploma where I’m from.)


  • It almost seems like it would be better to quote only the range at which they intend to actually hire, rather than dangling the best case maximum you could ever potentially earn at the absolute pinnacle of your tenure in the position. But maybe other smarter-than-me people expect the top number to mean that?
